To all the Black youth, my brothers and sisters-D not be afraid, or ashamed of who you are, to know who you are, and to make the rest of the world know who you are!

It is so important that you educate yourselves, read, write, communicate what you learn amongst yourselves, abbout yourselves, about who you are, about your history. Do not neglect to LEARN EVERYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AS AFRICANS AND AS PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT, AND DO NOT NEGLECT TO LEARN EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN DONE AND IS BEING DONE TO YOU.

Do not EVER let anyone tell you that you should forget slavery, that it is in the past, that you should get over it, that you are the reason for your condition, that it is okay to dilute yourself by integrating with those who have oppressed you-Because it is NOT in the past, it is NOT over, it is NOT okay. And it never will be EVER, until you know inside and out who you are, and who THEY ARE.

I am not telling any of you to hate anyone, or to seperate from anyone, or cut yourself off from the rest of the world. All I am telling you is that WE as a PEOPLE have fallen too far behind for to long and we are beginning to forget and neglect our history and ourselves.

THERE IS NOTHING GOOD OR ENDEARING ABOUT THE WORD '******'. I DON'T CARE HOW YOU PRONOUNCE IT, SPELL IT, WRITE IT, OR WHO ELSE SAYS IT. ERADICATE IT FROM YOUR VOCABULARY AND YOUR MIND, AND REFUSE TO TOLERATE ITS UTTERANCE BY ANYONE!

HALF OF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO RICHARD B. MOORE IS!

DO YOU KNOW? AND IF YOU DO, THEN WHY , WHY, WHY, DO YOU CONTINUE TO USE THIS HORRIBLE, EVIL, DECADENT , DEGRADING WORD!? YOU SHAME YOURSELVES AND YOU SHAME THE MAN WHO SPENT HIS LIFE, WORKING TO ERADICATE THAT WORD FOREVER!

Go find and read the book 'The name NEGRO" It's Origin and Evil Use'. READ IT! AND LEARN!

In this post are several links. I encourage you all to visit them, and others you find along the way. Don't just 'browse', LEARN! Go out and read the works of these people, and find other books and read them. Obtain the speeches of Malcolm, and Dr. Ben, and Dr. Clarke, and Phil Valentine and LISTEN TO THEM.
